Congrats on the 40k upswing man. Keep it going brother and can’t wait to watch the next one

[@thinkingplayer2648]

The sarcastic needles throughout towards Dylan were hilarious 😂

[@JoshChacon]

Was thinking the same thing. What did Dylan do to him 😂

[@DeltaAlphaKilo]

Subtle?

[@thinkingplayer2648]

@@DeltaAlphaKilo I suppose sarcastic is a better word, since the needles were obvious to professional poker players such as yourself. Thank you sir.

[@leehjones]

I stayed for the very end. Always do. I do love it when you blur the opponent's cards because otherwise there's no tension. When we can't see the cards we're all "Ai-ya! What should I do? 😢" If we saw Steve's aces, we'd be all "Fold. Obv. Standard." Also, I enjoy your occasional comments about theory because it helps me confirm/understand what's going on. Like "Bet the same percentage of the pot on turn and river" (aka "2E"). It's sweet to see that in the wild, and described as such. Great stuff, and be sure to see Cirque during Soleil "Love" while you're there. Your parents will be of an age that they grew up on the Beatles, and you being a musician know they were just better than everybody else. The show is a loving tribute to them, with 100% musical integrity.

[@MegaMariner123]

Great explanation here, first time I ever learned something useful from a comment. Shout S4Y for even introducing me to geometric sizing, and shout out you for breaking a bit of it down here!

[@xwing8675]

"get ready to learn something" LOL, OL and everything

[@ethanl9845]

Great fold on those aces

[@tc9435]

Great fold of QQ to Steve’s AA just wow.. I would’ve put him on AK suited

[@KingofHeart-tw6dm]

Bad players tend to play like this. If they're way ahead they'll ship it preflop or on the flop

[@kupz0179]

I couldn’t understand why he would shove with AA with the heart; like what is calling you besides a hand that has you beat but I guess reverse logic? 😂

[@sneakkyz3696]

Standard fold considering the lines that were played. Easy fold

[@scottyrabbit]

@@KingofHeart-tw6dmyea it’s such an -EV play with AA. He missed on two streets of value lol

[@UserX03]

@@kupz0179reverse logic is right. He wanted Mariano to think he’s bluffing cause yes who would shove AA in that spot. Not a bad play imo

[@pokerstiff]

That was a very different kind if game on thursday that induced a lot of action. Watched both streams - glad it was positive for you. Hope things with your music are going well and thanks for your continued grind with the poker and the vlogs!

[@jimmykim610]

Can you gives notes to rampage please. Esp the queens hand. I feel that’s going all in p-flop with how rampage has been playing lately.

[@rb5043]

You have been doing good playing and making calls. It’s poker sometimes it’s doesn’t go your way but it is what it is. You are enjoying and not doing bad so life is good!

[@justinjdavis79]

Nice job!! Enjoyed the video

[@CubanRider]

Those Kx were coming in clutch on the first day. Always good to hear you hand analysis regardless of the result. 🤙

[@DanJohnsonJMU]

So much going for you @marianopoker Thanks for always putting out such quality content. You’re a genius for balancing out the poker grind by enjoying your other passions and outlets. Definitely wise to prevent poker from going stale. 🙂 Unrelated: The intro music to this vlog at 2x was a d&b Banger. 😂

[@allenbythesea]

I really enjoyed this game as it added some interesting dynamics to it.

I’m happy for you!! Congratulations

[@Trust_but_Verify]

How much was the bounty money at the end when you won it?

[@wizard3117]

Mariano says he's on a downswing and running bad. Continues to play K3 offsuit like it's his favorite hand. Running bad indeed😂

[@bradleyfarquhar1757]

If you play like a nit just because you're on a downswing, you'll own yourself. It's a down swing. Doesn't mean his play is bad. His stats show that

[@rubendalmacio4914]

It’s good to see you back on the winning side

[@TheScapegoat420]

Good one man!

Been watching you for the past few years now. Always admire your mini movies that you do. Just a question about the editing, what do you use for your transitions in the intro?

Hi Mariano, how are you doing? Glad you did good on this streams and the downhill swing is over. A win is a win, you're so right about that. No matter how small or big is your win, it doesn't matter. It's better than losing. Nice video. See you on the next one. Peace ✌️

[@rafaelroldan4453]

Saw this live and wanted to see your train of thought

[@cosmogirolamo5920]

What a brutal spot with the queens. Do you call if you don't have the Q diamond? Would you have called with any KK in that spot or was that still an exploitative fold based on your perception at that time?

[@c0nstipat3d]

8:23 HCL.. some of the best in the world. Is he saying that unironically?

[@Dendelin007]

no

[@timsullivan4566]

Likely not , but it would have been impolitic of him to have made that clear, no?

[@jeffshackleford3152]

He is definitely being sarcastic. That lineup is softer than your average 5z game online.

[@GMartin407]

Definitely not. If you watch the unedited live footage, Mariano is super annoyed the entire time because the layout is absolutely stupid. Some of the players were also pretty slimey at one point I haven't watched this whole video so I'll see if he shows it.

Steve’s bet screamed fear. The whole time I’m thinking why would he go all in for so much. Why did he so big pre flop? I wanted you to call and i was wrong lol

[@hatttricktv5908]

My god. Two things from this video. 1) I don’t give K3o the respect it deserves 2) when a guy with that kinda shirt 2x pot jams and leans back AND even the button most people don’t know even exists on the shirt is buttoned.. fold.

[@bradleyfarquhar1757]

Play way more serious on the fridays. Anyway, i have J2 😂😂

[@michaelsparks1571]

Did 84 actually win the bounty or did the board play into if you had "J-high or less"? Your hand was technically AKT84 for A-high. 15:15 It's different because it was a tournament, but my longest streak was 15 hands in a row at the very start of a small 6-max back in 2018. Showdown, Raise&Take, Bluffs, Walk, everything went right for those first 2.5 orbits.

[@chucknola484]

3:45 I mean what kind of bluffs can I possibly have when giving this situation?........... Hmmm... 84 off suit?

[@theodorehsu5023]

Congrats on the five-in-a-row "scoop bounty" reward. But did you get paid for each hand (two in a row, three in a row, four in a row) you won before then?

[@ovbiousbluff]

Yo man big fan! Would love to get up with you one of these days I think we would vibe bc we’re around the same age and I live and die poker. Anyway that QQ hand is a fold 100% of the time against a player who is a NIT! You know that. You continue to make big folds like that and you won’t have to worry about the kind of downswings you have recently been on. In order to avoid those swings you have to be able to make BIG folds my man! I would give anything to have the chance to play on the hustler live stream to show my skills I just don’t have the bank roll to play those kind of stakes because I have a family and a daughter with cancer unfortunately so that just isn’t in the cards for me at the moment! I live in NY but I am a traveling dealer and I come out to Vegas for the series every year and deal at the golden nugget for the poker news cup and play in a few wsop events that I can afford to take a shot at. Last summer I got 93rd in the $1,111 one drop out of like 8,700 players. Had 37 bigs playing the last hand before dinner break on day 3 I could taste the $800k win man. I picked up A-Q hearts on the button utg opens 2x has me covered by a little as the table folds everyone is getting up to go to dinner break. I 3 bet to 5.5x in position to see where I’m at I would have folded to a 4 bet but he flats. Flop comes Qh-7h-6s he leads out for almost a pot side bet which was like 16 bigs if I just call the SPR would of been awkward on a lot of turns so I decided to rip it hoping to get called by KQ or possibly a flush draw. He goes deep into the tank for a full 5 min and says he doesn’t think he can call but ends up saying fuck it I’m too strong which confused me bc I figured if he had KK or AA which the AA is unlikely bc I have one and he calls and turns over KK with no hearts turn is a 6 of hearts pairing the board so I have any ace and any heart river is the king of hearts to give him kings full. I was disgusted but he did have me beat I was just suprised he didn’t 4 bet me pre out of position with such a strong holding. Cashed for 6k but was bitter sweet because started off with 3 rooms full to the gills of people in the event and we were down to the final 10 tables roped off in a special section to play down to a final table that night. I’m more a cash game player but love to shot take in a few events a year at the wsop. Never been able to play the main event and I’ve been playing poker since 2007. Hoping to find a backer this summer for the main or if not possibly try and satty in. I believe I am Destin to win the main event with poker being my life for the past 17-18 dealing and playing almost everyday of my life. If you feel like u want to reach out brother my email is [e-mail] keep up the grind my dude your a great player and great for the game of poker💯
